I use the Toshiba laptop as an addition to my HP desktop machine at work.
I find that the Toshiba has all of the features that I need and offers very reliable components. The screen display is clear and big enough to handle a resolution of 1024x768 comfortably. The standby feature is excellent which means not having to boot up from scratch, saving plenty of time. For playing games, it copes adequetly with the latest releases but of course and external mouse is needed. I have noticed that the CPU fan and CD drive are noisier than normal. The battery life could be improved but if used sensibly it is sufficient. You can always purchase another battery, but unlike offerings from Gateway, you can't actually run with 2 batteries at the same time. Pity that....
